The political world coming apart means an essentially complete inability to agree what happened, what is happening, and what must happen. The two things that are still working well are maintenance (e.g. the grid, banking and traffic still work for now) and relative non violence.
Milkshaking for example is a performative rehearsal for something else. It‘s exploratory comic violence...for now.
Organized “Intersectional Jury Nullification” will soon be tried to take down the justice systems. It’s a fast-acting cheap attack that cannot be easily countered.

A rerun of a 2008 or worse style crash would required skill, expertise, discretion and will to counter. But most of all trust & leadership.
Yet there’s not one single figure who commands trust at the moment. We put no one aside. No general or admiral. No one is above the fray.

In the end when people do not command respect, they’re replaced by things. Anyone waving a gun will have our respect until we can disarm him. Similarly the bar of gold. The compromat video. The private key to the hard drive that was attacked w/ encryption. Respect is transferred.
But this hasn’t much happened yet. Everything is still limping along. But we are using our time before what is next in the oddest of ways.
Myself most of all. I need to change that. I’m going to try at least this time around. Make up for 2008. Be well.
